They'd need a mod dedicated to these just to keep up. Ruling it out officially won't even help. You still have too many people signing up every day just to suggest the same ideas over and over again.

There needs to be some post requirement to start new threads. It's annoying sifting through all the zapping and resource donation threads trying to find actual new ideas.

Lol so simple now iceageg. Dos thou grow tired of saying the same message?

Yes. I simply hope that maybe one person each day reads the stickies, or at least scans the first page of thread titles and stumbles upon the answer without pushing worthwhile ideas to the second page instantly. That, and while I do loath arguing on the internet I do enjoy the opportunity to use subtle yet effective sarcasm from time to time.

That said, I would like to suggest to SC again that they implement a "must post 25 times before you can start a thread" or "on week waiting period before you can start a thread" policy. While it probably would not have much of an effect on the number of posts on topics that have long since rendered equine species extinct I believe it would give original ideas a much greater chance of being seen. I think most of us would MUCH rather have 2 zapping threads with 8000 pages than 4000 zapping threads with 2 identical pages each. In fact . . . I think that will be my new suggestion for all zapping threads. There should be a waiting period for creating your first thread.

Agreed. If they had a requirement of the Quiz on the Rules/Ruled out Ideas before making a first post, or a waiting period/post requirement, it could cut down on Bots and clean up the forums a little bit.

I have this on MS Word just for these types of threads..... easy to cut and paste

so with the train of thought that lightning spells should not be able to get DE and are too OP.

you shouldn't be able to LS cc troops....because you know it is too OP and does not give your cc troops a chance to defend
you shouldn't be able to LS any storages
you shouldn't be able to LS TH because they too have loot
you shouldn't be able to LS CC because it has loot

Oh and it takes out air d, mortars and wiz towers too easy.....make it harder....whatever people


bottom line....everyone complaining uses lightning spells to do all of the above. They do what they are designed to do. Should they nerf the heal spell because it heals too good? Oh wait.....you like that one because you use it on attacks, yet the inferno tower is the only defense against it. If you have used a lightning spell to take out an air d, wiz tower, mortar, arch tower, cannon, cc troops or a last second TH blast....then please......SHUT UP. You have no right to complain, it made your raid easier as you used the spell as designed. There was no defense against the spell in those instances either. So what, you lost some DE, it makes you mad. Makes me mad too, but I get revenge....that is why there is a revenge button. If they LS your DE on a revenge....take your lumps and move on. They lose trophy's and get no win bonus...that is the punishment. If someone is doing this in Master or Champ league and they are LVL 100+ then they are a sissy and have no business at that league level. It just is not cost effective. They should have 2 or 3 max DE drills at that point, LS DE becomes useless and a waste of elixir for spells.

So what you are telling me, when I am doing a raid and lure out all cc troops and get them over a mortar then drop two lightning spells and take out mortar and cc troops in one shot that I am not using the spell in a fair way? Get over it please, move on.

You really bothered to copy an obvious straw man argument? Wow.

Here is a simple rebuttal: no. No one is claiming anything of the sort. Happy?

We are, however, asking for there to be some defense against attacks. No other attack in the game can steal resources without giving the defender a chance to defend. We would like this changed.

You apparently did not read the whole post. I am sure you have used lightning spells to take out cc troops or a mortar or a wiz tower.......... The spell works as designed....stop crying.

There is no real defense against any spells....should we take them out of the game? Get over it move on.

Ok, so your argument is that lightning spells are too OP because there is no defense against it. So what? There is no defense against "sandboxing". So why are you not complaining about it? Sandboxing is 1000 times more unfair than getting zapped....and costs you more loot in the end. How is it fair for someone to attack your base 100 times until they get the right army composition to do the most damage? There is a reason all your traps are hidden from attackers, it is suppose to give you a defensive advantage. I am a firm believer that half of the people that clan war use the sandbox mode to gain an advantage in clan wars. I personally do not use it, but some of my clan mates do. I also think that almost every....I will use the term "eastern" clan uses this to gain the upper hand in clan wars. This is absolutely cannot be defended against. So why are you really complaining about lightning spells. I do not zap DE and I have no problem raiding 10k de per day. What is a couple hundred lost here and there.....really? Complain about what is really hurting game play and what is really OP/non-defend-able. Yes, I hate getting zapped. I think it is a cowards way to get de/gold/elixir. That is life within the confines of the rules of the game. Is it fair that a max th10 can attack a th6? Is it fair a th7 can 3 star a th8 with a dragon attack?(using 3 lightning spells to get rid of an AD)....is that something that can be defended against? Do we really need a spell nerf, lightning rod or any fix for zaps when that, in comparison to every thing else in the game, is small potatoes on the "what is unfair" plate. Can we move on and focus on the REAL unfair issues with the game. Please, if you want to complain about something....make it something other than zapping, lightning spells, lightning nerfs, lightning rods, spell inhibitors, anti-spell areas...etc along the same idea.

Simply trying to illustrate that this dead horse has been beaten so much that it threatens the existence of the species.
